Through his writing and work, he strives to uplift and inspire others, always striving to live a life that is guided by his faith.
Growing up in a family where three career paths dominated – teaching, preaching, and law enforcement – Garrett’s spiritual foundation was established early on. On September 29, 1991, his grandfather led him to the Lord and since then, he has been actively involved in church life. Throughout his life, Garrett has had a strong connection with Calvary Chapel, first experiencing it while stationed in Japan at Calvary Chapel Tokorozawa. In Hawaii, Calvary Chapel was a cornerstone in his life and community. He and his wife were not only members, but she also worked as an educator at Calvary Chapel Christian School. Garrett’s faith continues to play a significant role in his life and drives his desire to positively impact the world through his work and relationships.
